  • 1.  Control Center Monitor - Limiting number of alerts

    Posted Thu October 17, 2024 10:43 AM

    We are using Version 6.3.1 of Control Center Monitor and have written a rule to send out an email when a Business Process in B2B SI processed with errors. Is there a way to limit the number of alerts triggered for the same Business process failure? For example, if BP AS2SendSyncMDN is failing for some reason, there may be 100s or more failures at the same time and we do not want 100+ emails for the same type of BP failure. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    I've voted for your Idea but it looks like you're not the only one asking for this. There's also this Idea https://watsonsupplychain.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/CCM1-I-363 which the product manager has commented against that it's planned for a future release. You might like to add your vote to that one.

    Best regards.

    How exactly would this work, Roopa.  It makes sense at a high level - don't generate a 100+ emails if there are a hundred plus issues, but if you were writing out directions for a human on how to do this, what exactly would those directions be?  I.e. when they see the first error, generate an alert.  If they see the second error, how would they know if they should generate an alert or not?  Is it by the amount of time that goes by since the first error and as long as that time has not transpired, you don't want to be told again, or is it by the number of those errors that occur, or some combination of factors, or what?  I.e., should the instructions be don't generate any more alerts for this error for the next <number> of minutes, hours, or the next 24 hours?  And then you can?  When can more alerts for this error ever be generated again?  The more specific you can be on how this feature would work, the more likely it would be added in a way you would like.

    We may have different threshold count and duration after which we want the alerts for each Business process failure that we want to monitor. For each Business process failure that we want to monitor, there should be a threshold count field and duration after which the next alert should be triggered. The threshold count field and duration after which we want to get the next alert should be configurable. Once the number of BP failures goes over the threshold count, we should be alerted, and the alerts should continue after time configured in the duration field until the BP failure is resolved. At every alert we also need the current number of BP failures.
